Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Lisofylline, also known as LSF, improves cellular mitochondrial function and blocks interleukin-12 (IL-12) signaling and STAT-4 activation in target cells and tissues. IL-12 and STAT-4 activation are important pathways linked to inflammation and autoimmune damage to insulin producing cells. Therefore, LSF and related analogs could provide a new therapeutic approach to prevent or reverse type 1 diabetes.

Product Data
Biological target:
(±)-Lisofylline ((±)-Lisophylline) is the racemate of Lisofylline. Lisofylline inhibits the generation of phosphatidic acid and free fatty acids.
In vitro activity:
GRMS-55 is a potent hrPDE7A and hrPDE1B inhibitor, while (±)-LSF most strongly inhibits hrPDE3A and hrPDE4B. Reference: Pharm Res. 2020 Jan 2;37(2):19. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31899535/
In vivo activity:
Mice were divided into 4 groups; the first group was fed regular chow diet, the second was fed regular chow diet and treated with LSF (lisofylline), the third was fed high fat diet (HFD), and the fourth was fed HFD and treated with LSF. LSF alleviated obesity-induced cardiac injury indirectly by improving both pancreatic β-cell function and insulin sensitivity, as well as, directly via upregulation of cardiac AMPK expression and downregulation of cardiac inflammation and apoptosis.
